Thoughts of: Gardening?

“Life is fond of throwing you curve balls.” I read that line in a comic book when I was a kid. I have to say that it’s true. Things do happen in life that is completely unexpected.

An example of this is my post about Hibiscus plants. I had no plans to write about this plant or gardening in general that day, but the Trifecta writing challenge for that day put the ingredients right into my lap. There was no way not to write about plants that day. The Hibiscus was an easy choice because of its very photogenic flower.

Evidently you guys really like it because it’s been in my top 5 read list ever since. That, along with some other unexpected pushes, has motivated me to experiment a bit. For the next few weeks, I’ll be throwing in some basic gardening tips to see what kind of response they get. It’ll be a good test to the many questions I’ve had for a while.

My biggest technical concern is trying to find the right illustrations or pictures for what gardening tip I plan for that day. I’ve never looked for step-by-step pictures before and will see what I can find.

I am very curious to see what you think of it and Friday I will post my first gardening tip.
